I’m Not That Dumb
"Move! Move farther away from them!" A cultivator shouted as he waved his hand, causing his boat to move sideways.
And thanks to his shouts, the others too began to spread out, widening the distance between them and Warktor. This way, he wouldn't be able to close in on them and steal their boats.
Moreover, Warktor had a short range within which he could siphon the luck of others. So, as long as they moved far away, they would be safe. Truthfully, they didn't know, but they were aware that he had mysterious means to kill them, hence moving away.
"He's also an Evil Spirit."
Slowly, word spread as the cultivators became aware, realising why he was so different from the norm.
Now that all the boats had gone far away, beyond his reach, and with his boat sinking, Warktor truly had no other way. Normally, he would still have been able to reach the others and snatch their boats.
